Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation holds annual bash

Winchester’s First House Pub played host last Thursday, March 9, to the annual Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation Fundraiser.

The organization honors the memory of Doherty, a Navy SEAL and CIA contractor and graduate of Winchester High School, who was killed in Benghazi, Lybia in September 2012 in a terrorist attack that also claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stephens, CIA contractor Tyrone Woods and U.S. State Department officer Sean Smith. The foundation was created in his memory, in order to support special operations professionals and their families in their return to civilian life.

According to the foundation’s website, money raised by the organization is used to ease the transition from military life and work to civilian life, by funding educational costs for special operation professionals and their children for traditional education, vocational and non-traditional training, subsidies and grants for children of special operations professionals to attend leadership camps, and to support families affected by loss or life-changing disabilities.
